Down by forty one points 30 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: at one point, there was a right when the I 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: was gonna say when the game started, but really it 32 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: was like early second quarter that was it.

So you kind of 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: need the Knicks, right, You need the New York market. 41 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 4: The other arenas you're not gonna get. Lenny Kravitz and 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 4: Ben Stiller looking straight into the camera. 43 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to puke in my mouth. At the end 44 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: of the game, Danny they I realized there was nothing 45 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: to show on the broadcast. Had I had the audio 46 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: down because Doris Burke was on the broadcast, So when 47 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: she's on, that's a sign. 48 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,279 Speaker 3: I think that sexist drop sexist. 49 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: No, No, I'm just I'm sure she's a lovely lady 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: and she's really good, but for some reason I'd rather 51 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: listen to nails on the chalkboard than her, So I 52 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: mute it. So I didn't have the audio up. I 53 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: know Mike Breen was doing the game and Doris and 54 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: somebody else, so I didn't have the audio up, but 55 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: I was watching it, and in the like the last 56 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: seven to eight minutes of the game, there was more 57 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 1: shots of Ben Stiller and Tracy Morgan and Spike Lee 58 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: and all like that's what they were doing, like to me, 59 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: And maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. It could be 60 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: completely the whole card is getting pregnant, Like that's not 61 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: the real Nick fan. That's like the fake Nick fan. 62 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: Those aren't the real Nick fans. Anybody's sitting in the 63 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: front row at Madison Square Garden. 64 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 4: Well, Tracy Morgan and Ben Stiller at least have been 65 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: seen at quite a few Knicks games. I don't recall 66 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 4: Lenny Kravitz and some of those other celebrities in attendance, 67 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: though obviously things get ramped up during playoffs. 68 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: Well, and it's like, as Howard Stern mentioned on his 69 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: his thing the other day, like he he's like, I'm 70 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: not going to the Knicks games unless I get a 71 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: front row seat because they assigned the tickets based on 72 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: your celebrity status. So if you're not in the front row, 73 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: that means you're deemed a B list celebrity. So you're 74 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: either A list in the front row or B list 75 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: in the back. 76 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 4: But no, like, didn't the podcast could get a spot 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 4: out with those fans by the corridors. 78 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think No, we'd be actually in Penn Station. 79 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: We'd be underneath Mas the Square Garden. We would be 80 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: down there cleaning the toilets in the battlem You know, 81 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: it's like it's like, listen, the New York Nick fan, 82 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: the die hard fan. That's not that I know whose 83 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: celebrity people love celebrities don't. I'm over it. I can 84 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: call me what you want.

And uh, I think it's I think 174 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: it's as dumb to ban the Toush push as it 175 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: was for Major League Baseball to say you can't do 176 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: the shift. It's just to me, it's stupid. Find a way. 177 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: It's stupid. 178 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 4: But I don't think it ever should have been allowed 179 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 4: in the first place. Now that it's there, just leave 180 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 4: it alone. But it it doesn't make sense with the 181 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 4: forward progress of that game. It doesn't make sense. 182 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just people that are pissed off because they 183 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: can't do it, because really there's only been a couple 184 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: of teams that have consistently been able to pull it off, 185 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: and nobody can do it like the philadelph Eagles can 186 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: do it. 187 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 4: Well, you know when I knew it was over though, 188 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 4: you're a boy from the Chiefs on defense hurt his 189 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 4: neck trying to stop it in the Super Bowl, remember, Yeah, Well, 190 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 4: as soon as I saw that injury and I was like, oh, 191 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 4: that play is going away. 192 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: The one that did it for me where I thought, well, 193 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: this is really not going to be around is remember 194 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: the Washington Philadelphia playoff game where the referees came on 195 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: because the Commanders kept jumping off sides trying to they 196 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: were trying. 197 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 4: Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, the dude kept flying in 198 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: the air on defense off sides every play. 199 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: What do you go like three in a row. 200 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the referee got on the PA system. We 201 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: can award a score. 202 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: That's right. That was awesome. Imagine do you give a 203 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 4: tea None of us knew that either. None of us 204 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 4: knew that rule. We were like, that's a weird rule. 205 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. 206 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: So that was a good story. That would have been 207 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: a monologue on the Overnight Show if I had one 208 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: last night and then the other one. Your boy, your guy, 209 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: Danny G's guy, Derek Carr. Who there's some Weasley stuff. 210 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 3: Guy that ain't my guy. 211 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: There's some Weasley stuff, mo Man Weasley stuff moment. 212 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 3: How about the rumors that his team talked to two teams. 213 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, retirement. So if you have a debilitating 214 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: injury that you must retire from the NFL, why are 215 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: you shopping around trying to go work for some other the. 216 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 3: I told you this whole thing. 217 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 4: I told you back when he first announced his injury 218 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 4: that it smelled really fishy. I don't think we've seen 219 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 4: the last of him. I say he comes back for 220 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 4: another team. I just don't see him leaving the NFL 221 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 4: like you think he's done. What has he made something 222 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 4: like two hundred million dollars. 223 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: He's done very well. And I pointed out in a 224 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: previous the radio show I did a monologue. I put 225 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: it out, Derek Carr has a role. If you were 226 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: to assign we love the blame, the blame pie, and 227 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: if you were to assign blame on how the Raiders 228 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: ended up leaving Oakland, some of that blame. Now, you'd 229 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: always just blame politicians, right, and the Davis family whatever. 230 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: But if you look at the history of stadiums and 231 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: money and taxpayer money, Derek Carr was the last hope 232 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: for the Oakland Raiders as a quarterback, and he just 233 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: wasn't good enough with the Oakland Raiders. If he had 234 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: been the real deal and the Raiders had actually had 235 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: success and gone to the Super Bowl, I bet you 236 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: they get the money and there's still the Oakland Raiders. 237 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: But you know, he played a role in that anyway. 238 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: And ultimately, what he thirty, he's gonna be thirty four. 239 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 4: You know what, Ben I wanted to at least see 240 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 4: how that twenty sixteen season would have wound up. He 241 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 4: was a different guy and a different player back then 242 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 4: that they were twelve and three when he went down 243 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 4: with that injury, they were the best in the West 244 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 4: and he was on a roll. He definitely would have 245 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 4: won at least one playoff game because the Texans stunk 246 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 4: in that wild card game and they still were able 247 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 4: to beat the Raiders back up to the backup. 248 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: Remember who was the Raiders quarterback in that playoff game, 249 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: because at the Texans their backup too, right, it was 250 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: backup versus backup? 251 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 3: Was that it was the third string Raider quarterback. 252 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: Remember again, was brock Oswiler playing though? Was he? 253 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 4: Os Wiler is the one that won it for the Texans? 254 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: Well won it in it loose and it was that 255 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 4: Raider rookie. God, I can't even think of his name 256 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 4: right now. 257 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: You are how soon we forget that's guy started a 258 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: playoff game. 259 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 3: He had no business playing in that game. He looked. 260 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: Remember he kept holding onto the ball too long and 261 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 4: the Texans defense was all over them. 262 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: Oh I remember, I remember they were like, what are 263 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: we watching? Why is this a playoff? 264 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 3: Right? 265 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 4: I think Derrek Carr's entire career changed, obviously from that injury, 266 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 4: because he would have made at least a deep run 267 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 4: into those playoffs if not gotten that team because they 268 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 4: had a good defense, a really good defense that season 269 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 4: as well. Every week they went out there, they looked 270 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 4: like they were one of the top three teams in 271 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 4: the NFL in twenty sixteen. I remember pinching myself. It 272 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 4: felt like a weird dream that year. They had sucked 273 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 4: so bad in the years, you know, leading up to 274 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 4: that one. It's broke, it's broke. He never he never 275 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 4: bounced back from that. He was always real fidgety in 276 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 4: the pocket. Remember if a shadow got near him after 277 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 4: that injury, he would drop down like a sack of potatoes. 278 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 279 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: No, he was. 280 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: Always like the easy year standard. He wasn't terrible, just 281 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: you don't. You don't want him in any kind of 282 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: pressure situation, and you look at the numbers and then 283 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: you watch the game and it's not it doesn't add up. 284 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: Like the numbers don't look terrible for Derek Carr most 285 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: of the time, but when you watch the games, it's 286 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: like they're not. He's not making plays to win games. 287 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: He's just kind of. 288 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 4: He had that makeable fourth down play against the Bengals 289 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 4: the last time the Raiders were in the playoffs, and 290 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 4: what did he do? He threw the ball away on 291 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 4: fourth down. 292 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: Oh, in the back of the end zone if I 293 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: remember correctly. 294 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, the short came the pass came up really short, 295 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 4: but he had a wide open receiver in the end zone. 296 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 4: That was Derek Carr in a nutshell. He at times 297 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 4: had the worst field vision, but he was a gamer. 298 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 4: I remember other plays and other games where he would 299 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 4: look incredible and you would come away from the game like, man, 300 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 4: maybe he is a star quarterback. And then there'd be 301 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 4: other games where he would throw Philip Rivers type interceptions 302 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 4: and you would walk away scratching your head. So he 303 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 4: was a really confusing quarterback to try to root for. 304 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: Well, it's like when you were Daton, Danny and the 305 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: girl that would flirt with the bar. You think, oh, 306 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: I got a shot here, and then yeah, yeah, oh me, 307 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: no shot. All right, we're doing wait, too much sporty stuff. 308 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: So on this podcast we have the wedding crashers. We've 309 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: got a very special moment. I want to starry this. 310 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: So last weekend I attended my presence was requested via 311 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: my wife to attend a wedding for the in laws, 312 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: and so we traveled. 313 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is where you start doing the conga. 314 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: Well, it was pretty interesting.

We spent the night there and it's 324 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: so beautiful. They actually have vending machines. You can get 325 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: any variety of Matthe you want, Danny and they've got 326 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: a f vanding machine right there.

So we went to the wedding, got all 340 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: dressed up, and it was it was fine. 341 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 4: And yeah, this is like when you used to go 342 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 4: to diddy parties back in the day. 343 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: You know, you get the baby oil on one side, 344 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, you're ready to go. So we were. We 345 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: were there doing our thing, and the gentleman that was 346 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: getting married into the family, my wife's family.

I don't 353 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: drink much, but I'm in Beaumont, so I'll probably have 354 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: a couple. So I went out and so it was. 355 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: It was the kind of a night where a couple 356 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: of things happened that I will remember for many, many years, 357 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: including schmoozing before that, they had the wedding. They had 358 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: the open bar, and it was on this courtyard on 359 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: the side of this mansion overlooking the hills, and it 360 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: was really a beautiful setting. The sun was setting and 361 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: we were all drinking and they had a shark couterie 362 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: boards out which he and crackers and all that. So 363 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm wandering around and I'm an introvert, but I'm trying 364 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: to be polite and talk to people, and people are 365 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: coming up and asking me stuff whatever. So I'm going 366 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: around and I knew a few people, some people didn't know. 367 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 3: Whatever. Are you working sports? Who's gonna win the Super Bowl? 368 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: Oh? God, yes, pretty much every conversation. Yeah.

And I was like, oh, yeah, whatever. 371 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: So I thought she was just like busting my chops. 372 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: And then I go walk around the corner through this 373 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: little courtyard thing. Sure enough, her uncle had fallen over 374 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: and there were like seven or eight people surrounding the 375 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: uncle trying to get trying to get him back on 376 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: his feet. What's wrong? What happened? Is this a medical emergency? 377 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: Everyone's freaking out, So they take him into the mansion. 378 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: They put him down there, they've got ice. There's people 379 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: trying to figure out. Now he wants no parties. He says, 380 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm fine, screaming. So, uh, you'll get a 381 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: kick out of this daddy. So it turns out that 382 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: the will call him the Uncle. He was enjoying the 383 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: the open bar, and then he went down to the 384 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: parking lot at the mansion and somebody else at the 385 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: wedding said, hey, I got some really good weed. You 386 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: should try something. Well, the Uncle doesn't normally do that. 387 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: He this saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, so 388 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: the so the uncle, the Uncle ends up again. You're 389 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: a pretty button up guy. Uh. He had a couple 390 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: of drinks.

Yes. 393 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: Now keep in mind the people around him, they think 394 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: he's having a medical he's you know older, you know, 395 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: he's older than us by a number of years. 396 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 3: The word medical was involved, but not an emergency. 397 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, So they everyone they they don't think of him 398 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: doing anything like that, right, So they think he's having 399 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: some kind of medical problem.

The special moment is my 536 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 4: beautiful wife proving that she's very special. Because above us 537 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 4: were two hawks circling. 538 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: What what? 539 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 3: What?

She's weeping a little bit, 542 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 4: and she's like, that's so beautiful. And she looked around 543 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 4: and she looked at me and she said, where are 544 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 4: the hawk trainers standing? 545 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 2: Uh? 546 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 4: These were just two hawks looking for a meal. She 547 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 4: thought that there were trainers somewhere there on the campus. 548 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: Grounds, the show hawks. Yeah. 549 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, she thought the school released the hawks and that 550 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 4: they were going to come back and land on the 551 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 4: person's arm and everybody was going to applaud. 552 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: Now at this point, did she have you jump on 553 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: top of the child to protect you the kid from 554 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: the hawks? Of course the kid. Your kid's so big. 555 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,239 Speaker 1: If you know, you don't have to worry about that. 556 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: The hawk's not getting the kid. 557 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 4: He came out the size of a bowling ball, so hot, 558 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 4: couldn't have picked them up even when he was a newborn. 559 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 3: I don't think she was worried. 560 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 4: I just think she thought it was this beautiful moment 561 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 4: that the school put together. And her daughter looked at 562 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: her and was like, Mom, you are so special. Don't 563 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 4: share that story with anybody. 564 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: That's funny. 565 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 3: That was a very special moment. 566 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Auburn football game.

They don't do that. They don't mess up, 571 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: they don't play like that. All right. So I did 572 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: want to mention before we got a couple of things 573 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: to get to the I thought this was right in 574 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: your wheelhouse, Danny.

Danny, 583 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: you want to take a shot here. Yeah, I assume 584 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: you didn't see this, but take a shot.

I'm trying 588 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 3: to think who's on tour this summer. 589 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: Let's see, it's not Ditty, It is not Diddy. 590 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 3: I know. 591 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 4: I saw something in the news about Lady Gaga having 592 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 4: a big tour. 593 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 3: Beyonce gotta be on that list. 594 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, not Beyonce the weekend. No, let me give it 595 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: to you here. It is, okay, Lana del Rey. Lana 596 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: del Ray the priceiest performer on a person basis. She 597 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: doesn't eighty three minute show features fifteen tracks on the show. 598 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: That means that fans pay per song sixteen dollars and 599 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: two cents for every song at her concert. 600 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, I see. So this is about the 601 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 4: amount of songs that the artist does as well. 602 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. And they said by time, that's two 603 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: dollars and ninety cents per minute of the performance, the 604 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: fourth highest minute by minute rate among major artists. They 605 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: say that Oasis generates the most revenue per song eight 606 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,479 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars per song, with nightly 607 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: earnings of seventeen point six seventeen point one six million 608 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: across the reunion. I imagine that. 609 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 3: This is the artists then that are like, screw you. 610 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 3: You're paying a lot of money to come in here, 611 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 3: but I'm not going to do a lot of songs. 612 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do the bare minimum. The bug, they say, 613 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: the budget conscience fan. The best value is Ed Sheeran 614 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: at less than a dollar per minute, ninety one cents 615 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: per minute. Usher Usher does it for three dollars and 616 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: seventy six cents per song. So there's some some value. 617 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I haven't been a concert in 618 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: a while. You go to concerts, Danny's still doing that, 619 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: or you kind of. 620 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 3: We did before we had a little kid. 621 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, now you're your locker. 622 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 3: We're kind of stuck at home now. 623 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 4: But when he gets old enough that we can have 624 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 4: a babysitter, we'll go back to some concerts. 625 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotcha, all right. 626 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: The word of the week, the word of my guy, Ohio, 627 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: aw so the word This is in honor of Charlie. 628 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: Charlie's a kid caller, Danny. He lives in Dallas, he's homeschool. 629 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: He calls the Overnight show. Charlie. 630 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've heard Charlie on the air before Yeah. 631 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: This week, Charlie started calling from the bathroom, and so 632 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: we got what a what an appropriate way to honor 633 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: Charlie in Dallas than the word of the week being 634 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: come ode, come ode, I'm going to the come out mode. 635 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 3: Oh. 636 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: I think most of us know that that is a 637 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: slang way of saying a toilet euphanism for toilet. However, 638 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: is it true that, despite now meaning toilet, historically, at 639 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: one point commode was a woman's wig, and at one 640 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: point it was that of a madame or female pimp. 641 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: About that. The original word going way way way, way, way, way, 642 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: way way back. Comode first appeared in English in the 643 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: late seventeenth century, and it meant a tall headdress or 644 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: wig built upon a wire frame, and that was a commode. 645 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: So we're going back a minute to the sixteen hundreds 646 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: and there's some examples of that, and then if you 647 00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: move forward in time the eighteenth century, come ode also 648 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: used to mean a female pimp or producer. That I's 649 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: here it for the female pimp commode. Yeah, So anyway, 650 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: over time, it's obviously it's obviously changed several times with 651 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: the connection to toilets began in the eighteen hundreds commode 652 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: as a toilet, but it actually was taken from a 653 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: piece of furniture because before it was the toilet. I 654 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: went out of order here. A commode, before it was 655 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: known as a toilet, used to refer to a ornate 656 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: waist high chest of drawers. It was a style of 657 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: furniture that was in France, so that that was in 658 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,959 Speaker 1: the seventeen hundred, so sixteen hundreds it was. Originally it 659 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: was known as a as a wig, then it became 660 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: a female pimp, then it became then it became a 661 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: piece of furniture. 662 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 3: Old new meaning to shitting in your drawers. 663 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: And then finally in the eighteen hundreds it became known 664 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: as a toilet, and still to this day known as 665 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: a toilet.
